Tekst piosenki
Don't start a band
Nobody wants to hear; nobody understands
Don't start a band
You'll be so disappointed that it was nothing like you planned
Don't start a band
Oh yea yea yea
I hate to ruin the magic
I hate to kill the dream
But once you've been behind the scenes then you'll know just what I mean
You might think that's its cool to get up on stage
And play rock and roll with your heart and soul
But no one shows up and your songs all suck
And there's no applause and no flying bras
No girls will scream for you and no ones gonna sing along with you
Don't start a band
Nobody wants to hear; nobody understands
Don't start a band
You will be so damn terrible they'll all think your shitty
Don't start a band
Oh yea yea yea
'Cause you wont get paid
And you won't get laid
And even if you make it
All the way to MTV
I don't think you could take it
All the bullshit and the greed
Everyone is so fake when they shake you hand
And they kiss your ass 'cause they're makin' cash
And the business end will turn every friend
To an enemy oh you will see
They'll turn their backs and they'll be gone
Faster than can say 'What did I do wrong?'
Don't start a band
Nobody really cares; nobody understands
Don't start a band
You will sign your life away and then you'll be working for the man
Don't start a band oh yea yea yea
Your message will get lost
You will be double crossed
And if you think that the joy of playing
Will keep you going through the years
Wait till you're poor and frustrated
And the fun just disappears
Nobody cares what you have to say
And no one's gonna listen anyway
Rock and roll will bring you down
And it will kick you while you're on the ground
Don't start a band
Don't even try you will regret it yea
Don't start a band
You'll be so disappointed that it was nothing like you planned
Don't start a band
Oh yea yea yea
So just give up now
I'll show you how
Don't start a band
